It's time for another blog hop! This month's inspiration photo is so pretty!

I tried to recreate the look of the textured pillow by stamping some flowers from Pretty Peonies and some dots from Polka Dot Basics. I then used the Linen/Canvas impression plate on that piece of cardstock.

I made a couple of sympathy cards for my mom, who unfortunately needs them quite often.

I used the same design for each card, switching the colors and the impression plates that I used.

All the butterflies are from Beautiful Butterflies, and the sentiment for this one comes from Birds of a Feather. I used a side of the Linen/Canvas impression plate on the focal image. The inks useds are all the PTI greens, Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores.

This card uses purples and blues from PTI, and was impressed with the other side of the same impression plate. I think I like the design better with a mat.

My husband has a friend at work who is having a baby girl tomorrow, so I made this card to go with the gift.

I used Soft Stone cardstock and all the purple PTI inks: Winter Wisteria, Lavendar Moon, Plum Pudding and Royal Velvet. The flowers are from Happy Hydrangea. I cut a Tag Sale die for the sentiment (from Say it Loud, WMS) and cut off the top portion before adhering. The little bow is also from Happy Hydrangea.

I definitely have hydrangeas on the brain....we have a row of gorgeous hydrangeas in front of our house and they are so lovely right now. They're blooming in blues, purples and pinks and we are enjoying them!

Hope you had a great weekend! I received my first order from Wplus9 on Friday afternoon, and made this card today. I used some of the tiny leaves from Folk Art Florals, the frame, sentiment and berries are from Fresh Picked. I think I have plenty of berry stamps now :)

Hope you had a great weekend! Once again, I haven't blogged in a while...it's just hard to find the time! I knew I had to play along with the 100th WMS Sketch challenge, and that I had to use French Country.

I heat embossed the background panel onto Winter Wisteria cardstock using clear detail powder. All the stamped images are from French Country, and I used Royal Velvet, New Leaf and Winteria Wisteria inks.

Still not sure I like the little resin flowers just there, but I'm happy enough :)
